According to sources, the actress has been dealing with extremely difficult and emotional challenges as a result of an ongoing dispute with We TV over her contract. Tamar has been in negotiations with her team, trying to be released from her contract as she believes she has been taken advantage of for several years. Allegedly things came to a head for her upon the release of the new trailer for her reality show “Get Ya Life”. Apparently, Tamar did not like the way her image was painted in the trailer, and she felt caught off guard. Just this week, the actress actually went public on Twitter, voicing her issues about her “Braxton Family Values” contract.
